When I was a freshman at Rowland Hall, Elena’s oldest sister was a sophomore at my high school. And Elena had another sister who was a grade below me. I didn’t know them super well, but after I switched schools, we’d always say hi to each other in the hallways of debate tournaments.

So meeting the youngest sister was exciting. And she was just as sweet and kind as I’d remembered her siblings to be. She was so easy-going and so loving to her little dog lmao.

For these photos, I drove up to their cabin in Heber, Utah. I’d never been past Deer Valley before and was amazed by the views I found up there. Just miles of open road & amazing fall colors. And I love that this location was not only incredibly gorgeous, but it was also a special part of her growing up 🙂

Congratulations Elena!!
